RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF 1.10)

infile
is the name of an edit file that will be passed as the IN file to the trigger process when it is
created. infile must be a properly-formed Guardian disk file name. The file does not have
to exist. This parameter is mandatory.
outfile
is the name of a file or process that will be passed as the OUT file to the trigger process when
it is created. outfile must be a properly-formed Guardian disk file or process name.
CPUS primary-CPU : alternate-CPU
are the numbers of the primary and alternate CPUs in which the trigger process is to run. The
alternate CPU is used only if the primary CPU is unavailable when the trigger is started. Values
range from 0 through 15. The defaults are 0:1.
priority
is the process priority of the trigger process. Priority must be an integer from 10 through 199.
The default is 150.
WAIT
causes RDF to wait for the trigger process to terminate before shutting down. This is the default
value.
NOWAIT
specifies that once the trigger process is launched, RDF can immediately proceed to shut down.
Where Issued
Only on the primary system; backup system when the primary is not available.
Security Restrictions
None.
RDF State Requirements
None.
Usage Guidelines
The SET TRIGGER command enters the trigger parameter values specified in this command into
the RDF configuration table in memory. This table serves as an input buffer only, so these values
do not affect the subsystem until they are applied to the RDF configuration file through the ADD
command.
Example
In the following example, you are configuring an RDF environment to run from \Boston to \London.
You start by initializing RDF to run from \Boston to \London.
] INITIALIZE RDF, BACKUPSYSTEM \LONDON !
Now assume that you have configured an extractor, receiver, purger, a set of updaters, and now
you want to configure a Takeover trigger. For this trigger, you have a TACL script file
$SYSTEM.RDF.TKSCRIPT, and you want to this script to be executed automatically by TACL after
an RDF Takeover operation in CPU 3:4 with a priority of 160, and you want RDFCOM to shutdown
immediately after firing off the trigger. To do the above, you issue the following commands:
]SET TRIGGER PROGRAM $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TACL
]SET TRIGGER INFILE $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TACL
]SET TRIGGER CPUS 3:4
]SET TRIGGER PRIORITY 160
]SET TRIGGER NOWAIT
]ADD TRIGGER TAKEOVER
